We are so grateful for the incredible animal loving community in Santa Fe 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰

We are proud to debut our first annual Giving Tree!

Tails has partnered with organizations in and around Santa Fe to help provide much needed items for the animals in their care. This includes shelter animals, rescue animals, and animals and their humans who don't have a place to call home. Each tag on the tree represents one of these animals and has a wish list of items that would help keep the animal safe and enrich their lives.

This is where our wonderful Tails Family comes in! You can pick a tag off the tree and have tons of fun shopping for the chosen animal - Picking out treats, collars, jackets, what have you for our furry friends. You then bring the items back to Tails where we will bundle them up and get them to the partner organization for distribution.

We have currently partnered with Street Homeless Animal Project , Española Humane , Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society , and Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico .

Come drop your dog off for a day of play and check out our Giving Tree!

⚠️Important Msg⚠️ Update on a Temporary Agreement with the City

We are pleased to share some positive progress on a temporary agreement with the City. Here’s what we know so far:

Key leaders in the City have been working on a temporary solution. While we had hoped for confirmation earlier today, we’ve now reached a very short-term resolution that allows us to resume services effective on Saturday 11/16 at 9 a.m. This temporary measure will give us the time needed to work toward a longer-term agreement with the City.

Ultimately, the City will require us to respond to a Request for Proposal (RFP), which we look forward to submitting and we are confident in our ability to secure a sustainable, long-term partnership to continue providing vital services to the City and the citizens of Santa Fe.

⚠️Important Msg⚠️ Temporary interruption of our City Contract

We have been actively negotiating an updated agreement with the City of Santa Fe Animal Services Division while operating on a month-to-month basis. However, we were informed yesterday that we have reached the financial limit the City can pay under these temporary terms, resulting in an interruption of services with the City of Santa Fe Animal Services.

The City will soon issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for animal sheltering services, and we fully intend to respond. Given our longstanding and positive partnership with the City, we are optimistic that a resolution will be reached soon.

Residents within the city limits should continue to contact Animal Services as necessary during this time, which are typically lost pets or bite-quarantined animals.

Max found his forever family and is living his best life! This adorable little guy is always purring, loves snuggling up in a desk drawer or under the covers with his new pawrents ❤️ After a few weeks, his big sister, Pitta, warmed up to him, and now they’re the cutest cuddle buddies, grooming each other every day. We’re so thrilled to see Max’s happy ending and new beginning with a family that loves him dearly 🐱

As the holidays draw near, we’re reminded that home is more than just a place—it’s a feeling. It’s where we find comfort, love, and belonging. But for the 350+ animals currently in our care, home is still a dream 🏡

While they wait to find their forever families, SFAS is their temporary safe haven—a warm bed, meals, medical care, and love from our Shelter family. But we know that nothing compares to the joy of finding a permanent home.

This holiday season, help dogs, cats, and critters alike feel the comforts of home. With a goal of $400,000, you will directly impact the lives of 350+ animals in our care. Click the link below for more info & to donate today!
